Re: I'm one of the dumb asses that is paying for college
I'll try and see what I can find online in finance with 4 year degree and no major experience requirements. OP you haven't said if you are mobile and able to take a position anywhere.

I'll post what I can find.

Here is one entry level position that requires a 4 year degree, but is willing to train.

Re: I'm one of the dumb asses that is paying for college
It seems most companies out there want tons of experience for even their "entry level" jobs which is ridiculous. I'm finding that they are wanting to pay graduates with 4 year degrees as little as $12/hour! That is just WRONG!

OP, I'm hoping you will find something and that they pay you well!

i'm fortunate in that i don't have to try to find a job, i already have one. being a life learner and going back to school in my later 30's gave me certain advantages one of them being that i worked and went to school. i had to take out loans but not half as much as some of the kids because i didn't live on campus. these kids are going to leave that school and be stuck without a job or taking a crappy job just to make loan payments. i guess thats one of the main perks with being an older student. not that this degree is going to do anything for me right now. its just a feather in the cap so to speak

Re: I'm one of the dumb asses that is paying for college
Here is a government job. Notice the great salary! They say the advanced degree is preferred, but you will still be considered with a bachelors degree in Economics. Is your finance degree equivalent?

[link to edu.govcentral.com]

Median Salary
$44,000- $93,000

Educational Requirements
Candidates who hold a master’s or Ph.D. degree in economics will have the best employment prospects and advancement opportunities, but a bachelor’s degree in Economics or Mathematics is also worthwhile. Quantitative skills are important in all economics specialties.

very best of luck to you sweetie. their are two types of people, one that will wallow in self pity and another that will dust themselves off and make the best of a bad situation. school may not look great right now but when things start to turn around you want to give youself a competative advantage over the competition. education is the best way to do that.

all the very best to you posieasd
